Music piracy will come make a comeback eventually. Its already coming back with movies.
Paying for music is in a blip of being better than piracy for most people and the “morally correct” argument is very dominent right now.
But the contradiction between consumers wanting cheap convinient music and streaming cites wanting as much money as possible can’t last like this forever.
Also, I think people are starting to understand that streaming isn’t actually owning, and that anything that’s not a file on your machine can just be taken away from you on whim.
People have definitely noticed that with movies. But music streaming is pretty good with having 99% of what most people need and songs don’t just dissapear nearly as often, we’ll see how that changes though.
